I've noticed that recent tick-tock architectures seem to have one word the same in their compound names.
Sandy/Ivy Bridge
Has/Broad well
Sky Lake/mont
Coincidence or purposeful?

Each pair uses the same architecture, but the latter of each pair is the die shrink.
Same suffix = die shrink = tick
Different suffix = new architecture = tock
Northwood / Prescott
They were going to call it Morning Wood but somehow decided against it.
these are all towns or rivers in Oregon, aren't they?
Yes, they are. I've lived on Prescott street before. I've also seen many life size sandy (river) bridges as well!
The ONLY one I've not got a clue on is ivy bridge. Still don't get the reference.
Lol. At least Prescott, Northwood and others have historical landmarks. Ivy bridge has a little loop in a cookie-cutter suburban neighborhood...

You are 100% correct on this one. It's not a random street in Oregon. Sandy Bridge however does not have a geographical meaning but instead had a convoluted path through legal to get where it is. Also, legal is the #1 reason why geographical places are used for these code names.
It obviously wasn't. Looks like you missed the joke of it...

It's an enormous coincidence. You should tell them what you noticed and maybe they'll reward you.
